"From our first meeting with Gregor at Cairnrowan we were impressed by his professionalism and attention to detail. Our build has progressed quickly and is going to be completed ahead of schedule and on budget. The eye for detail and quality in Cairnrowan work is excellent and we’ve constantly been kept up to speed with progress and timelines to completion. The team at Cairnrowan have all been very approachable and easy to deal with, adapting to situations as they arise. They have made the experience of building your own home relatively stress free and very enjoyable. We would highly recommend them and in fact have."
